[Misc] Young Furniture Maker of the Year

[Seagull58]

Having cleared this shameless plug with Bozza, I am here to give some publicity to an extraordinary, young furniture maker, my son, who has been shortlisted for the bespoke award at the Young Furniture Makers Exhibition this month
https://www.furnituremakers.org.uk/young-furniture-makers-exhibition/
The winners are selected by a committee of experts, no online voting and no VAR, so I'm not appealing for votes, just putting his work out there for the wider community to see.
This is his Goma storage seat that has been entered in the exhibition.
This is his website https://www.kumiko.co.uk/
He specialises in Japandi (Japanese-Scandinavian) style and Kumiko.
Thanks for your attention.

It looks fab!

Sorry to go pun-tastic but:

If I SAW something like that I WOOD buy it.

You just couldn't lathe it alone could you?

 

[B-right-on]

Wow. That's absolutely stunning. You should be very proud of you lad in this 'wannabe famous", produce nothing but 10 second tiktoks, social media driven society.

That's proper skilled craftsmanship at its best.

Well done that lad.

 

[Seagull58]

Some more of his work.

 

[AmexRuislip]

I did have an Ikea about making something today, but decided to open a shavings account instead.

 

[Hotchilidog]

Excellent work.

 

[Jack Straw]

He's nailed it.

 

[Coldeanseagull]

Well it's plane to see he's a very talented lad...a chip off the old block?

 

[zefarelly]

Excellent work.

He'll have no problem chiselling out a living from that kind of quality, people will be barking to not like it.

 

[Justice]

I’m glad I logged in to see this.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Wooden happen in Germany.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

His work looks excellent. It’s also good that his talent has been recognized; you must be proud!

skills like this are dying out a bit so well done to him for doing stuff like this.

Going against the grain, there will be no puns from me!

Your son certainly has an amazing talent ... good luck to him.

 

[Swansman]

Definitely no furniture geek, but those things look very nice. Well done

 

[schmunk]

He's nailed it.

What did you have to go and stay that....?!??!

He's screwed now.

 

[Justice]

Touch wood he will win the competition.

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

I can't believe what I just saw.

Congratulations to you and your talented son

His work looks exceptional, very impressive.

Good luck to him, let’s hope he wins.

Out of interest, seeing as he works includes strong Japanese styles, does he use tools such as the ryoba saw or just modern tools?

He has a couple of Japanese tools that he bought at auction. I'm not sure what they are though.
